rejuvenator from a dehydrator, igloo cooler
« on: December 25, 2013, 08:13:31 PM »
I built this bowling ball rejuvenator from a dehydrator, igloo cooler, and miscellaneous small parts.
dehydrator - $40
igloo cooler - $14
miscellaneous small parts - $8

The temperature will go up to 190 degrees but when de-oiling balls I keep the temperature around 150 degrees. It works great!!!! Let me know what you think, pretty cool isn't it?

That is actually pretty genius.  Be careful with the amount of heat you are producing, though.  I believe they say that to be safe, you want to keep it around 120-125*.  Once you start getting hotter than that, you may run the risk of cracking a ball.  Just something to think about.

The dehydrator has multiple heat setting and I can go from around 90 degrees to 190 degrees. The rejuvenator by Innovative I believe runs at 140 degrees. I will crank it back a little.

Thank
